The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar was so irritating, it was almost as though the author thought that by making the main character a diversity mascot she could get away with anything - and was so spoiled / selfish it drove me nuts.
Black Chalk by Christopher Yates was another I didn't get along with, started off promisingly but the reader is never told anything, everything is kept vague even through till the end it almost felt like the author couldn't be bothered to plan in all those details.

The Glimpses of the Moon by Edmund Crispin. I enjoyed some of his earlier Gervase Fen detective stories, but this one was written after a long gap due to alcoholism and just after a late marriage when perhaps he felt he had to make a bit of extra money. It was confusing and hard to believe, and I don't think his heart was in it.
